Prevalence and risk factors of chorioamnionitis in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo estimate the association between chorioamnionitis, maternal risk factors and birth outcomes. STUDY
designA cross-sectional study of 600 pregnant women was conducted at a maternity center in Dhaka from January to October 2011. Outcomes included histologic, microbiologic and clinical chorioamnionitis. Log-binomial models assessed the association between risk factors and histologic chorioamnionitis (HC).
resultsOf the 552 women with placental specimens, 70 (12.7%) were classified with HC: 46 (65.7%) with and 24 (34.3%) without fetal involvement. HC was associated with non-physician care (relative risk [RR] 2.04, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04 to 4.00), home slab or hanging latrine (RR 1.69, 95% CI 1.10 to 2.62), and lack of tetanus toxoid (RR 1.80, 95% CI 1.03 to 3.14). Women with fever (RR 2.30, 95% CI 1.18 to 4.50) or discolored amniotic fluid (RR 1.74, 95% CI 1.08 to 2.81) had a higher risk of HC. Microbiologic and clinical chorioamnionitis were unreliable HC measures.
conclusionPrevalence of HC is high; many cases are not captured by clinical diagnosis or microbiologic cultures.
